Aussie Censorship "Live Trials" Won't Be Live

Xiroth writes "In what could be the first step to backing down on the plans to censor the Australian Internet, Communication Minister Stephen Conroy has made it known that the live trials of the Government filter will not, in fact, be live, instead being downgraded to a closed network test. Given that this would provide no further information than what Government tests have already provided, this may prove to be a face-saving measure before the plan is quietly scrapped. Nonetheless, concerned Australians are encouraged to attend protests planned for this weekend to ensure that the Government gets the message."

    It is defined, you're just too fucking lazy to read the legislation.

    If you're not against censorship in principle then don't go complaining when the majority decides what you're not allowed to see.
